As time goes on, I still find myself unable to except the death of Sarah, I can't come to terms with how difficult it is to believe she's not passing by me at school or smiling somewhere in never never land. I can't let go or forget this and I hope no one has forgotten.

DONT CRY FOR ME NOW THAT I AM FREE
JUST LOOK AROUND ANYWHERE AND THAT IS WHERE I WILL BE
FOR I AM THE DAYLIGHT WHEN THE SUN STARTS TO RISE
I AM THE BRIGHT RAINBOW YOU SEE WITH YOUR EYES
IM THE TINY RAINDROPS THAT SPRINKLE IN THE WIND
I WILL ALWAYS BE HERE WITH YOU FOR THERE IS NO END...
IM THE DEW THATS ON THE GROUND AND THE QUIETNESS ALL AROUND
YES, I AM SO VERY HAPPY WITH THIS NEW LIFE I HAVE FOUND
I AM THE PEACEFUL SUMMER BREEZE THAT FLOWS THROUGH THE TREES
I AM THE BLUEBIRD IN THE SKY THAT SINGS WITH SUCH EASE
YES, I AM SO VERY HAPPY SO HAPPY TO BE FREE...
UNDERSTAND MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND YOU CRY FOR ME....

Remember
Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

Dear Botill Family,
Although I never met your beautiful daughter or the family, please know that your are in my thoughts and prayers. Having lost my 20 year old daughter 8 weeks ago in a tragic car collision, I understand your pain, numbness, anger, denial, fear, grief, etc.
I wish I could provide the words to help your through this roller coaster ride. But I don't. Just know that your Angel is always with you.
Take care and hold onto the memories. Those can never be taken away.
Live, laugh, love and always believe.

My children and I are so saddened to hear of your dear daughter's passing. We did not know Sarah, but many friends we have in Morgan Hill did. As a mother of a 15yr old daughter, I can't comprehend how your are coping with your loss. It is just tragic beyond belief. Our deepest Sympathy.

Complete stranger here, forgive the intrusion.
Saw this on yahoo news and caught my eye, I have a 15 yo daughter also named Sarah Rose.
A precious child is lost, such a tragedy, but the blessing is you had her for 15 years, and she will no doubt live on in the hearts and souls of those who loved her.
My condolences.

Dear Botill Family,
I have gone to school with Sarah since first grade and this year we were split up between ghs and chs. I was closer to her when we were littler but we still would occasionally talked as time went on. I am so devastated by her passing but I know she is in a better place now with her little sister. She is so dearly missed and loved by all those that had met her . My thoughts and prayers go out to you.
Diana
December 11, 2009
My prayers, and thoughts are with the Botill family. I can think of nothing worse than losing your child, and the fact that this is your second child you have lost, is beyond my comprehension. Please know that many people are praying for your well-being, and for your Sarah. From everything I have heard, she seems like she was a wonderful, loving person. This horrific tragedy has opened a discussion between me and my 12 year old son. It may not seem possible now, but perhaps your terrible loss will help to save other children. May happy memories sustain you during the difficult days ahead.

Your loss is one that will effect many people over a long period of time. You will not be forgotten as there are many lessons to learn from this.
Our hearts ache for your parents and family. May they find peace knowing that you will be watching over them.
Our thoughts and prayers will be with your family, the Velascos and your friends in the coming days, weeks and months. May you all find forgiveness and peace in your hearts.

"I SAW GOD TODAY"
I SAW GOD TODAY,STROLLING THROUGH THE MEADOW.
NOT QUITE SURE OF WHAT HE WAS DOING,
I DECIDED TO STAY AND WATCH JUST A BIT LONGER.
I WAS IMPATIENT, MY FEELINGS CRUSHED.
I WANTED TO SCREAM, BUT INSTEAD I SAT,WAITING QUIETLY, WITH THE CURIOSITY OF A CHILD.
SUDDENLY, HE TURNED AND LOOKED AT ME.
I WAS STARTLED BUT QUICKLY BLURTED OUT,
"WHY GOD, DO SOME DIE SO YOUNG,
WHY DID YOU TAKE MY FRIEND?"
IN ALL GREAT WISDOM HE REPLIED,
IN MUCH TO MY AMAZEMENT WITH ANOTHER QUESTION,
" IF YOU WERE GATHERING FLOWERS, WOULD YOU PICK ONLY THE OLD FOR YOUR BOUQUET?"
COMING NEARER, I FELT HIS WARMTH.
I TOUCHED HIS LOVE. HE OPENED HIS ARMS.
"COME TO ME, BE MY CORSAGE."
I LOST MY ONLY SON TO AN ACCIDENTAL BLACK TAR OVERDOSE ON MARCH 28, 2005.
I TOTALLY KNOW HOW YOUR FAMILY IS FEELING, I AM SORRY FOR THE PAIN THAT WE WILL ENDURE FOR THE REST OF OUR LIVING DAYS.
ON THIS SUNDAY THE 13TH OF DECEMBER, LOG ONTO THE COMPASSIONATE FRIENDS IT IS A WORLD WIDE CANDLE LIGHTING FOR US PARENTS WHO HAVE LOST A CHILD, YOU CAN WRITE WHATEVER YOU WANT IN THERE, IT IS HELD EVERY SECOND SUNDAY EVERY DECEMBER.
MAY GOD KEEP YOU CLOSE TO HIS SIDE TO HELP YOU THROUGH THIS TRYING TIME
